“We Buy Houses With Asbestos in Every Spokane”
Asbestos. Just hearing the word can make buyers run for the hills. If your house in Spokane contains asbestos, you might be wondering whether it’s even possible to sell. The good news? Yes, you can sell a house with asbestos in Spokane — especially when you work with a cash buyer like REI Branded Home Buyer.
We specialize in buying houses with serious issues, including asbestos, mold, foundation damage, and more. We buy houses as-is, which means no repairs, no inspections, and no hassle.
What Is Asbestos and Why Is It a Problem?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in home construction before the 1980s. It’s fire-resistant and durable, but it can be deadly when disturbed. Exposure to asbestos fibers is linked to diseases like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.
You might find asbestos in:
- Popcorn ceilings
- Insulation (especially around ducts or attics)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing shingles
- Siding
- Pipe insulation
The problem? Removing asbestos professionally can cost thousands of dollars. Most traditional buyers will walk away when asbestos is discovered.
Real Story: Selling a Spokane Home With Asbestos in the Attic
One homeowner in the Logan Neighborhood reached out to us after a home inspection revealed asbestos in the attic insulation. The buyer backed out. The seller didn’t have the time or money for remediation. We made a fair cash offer and closed in 10 days. No delays. No surprises.
Can You Legally Sell a House With Asbestos?
Yes. There’s no law requiring you to remove asbestos before selling in Washington. However, you must disclose the presence of asbestos if you know about it.
But most buyers and lenders won’t touch a house with known asbestos. That’s why cash buyers like us exist — we take on the risk so you can move on.

About REI Branded Home Buyer
Real People. Real Stories. Real Solutions. We’re George and TJ — two regular guys who teamed up to create REI Branded Home Buyer, a local company with one simple mission: to help people sell their homes without stress, games, or pressure. We actually met at a local real estate meetup. A mutual friend randomly shouted, “Hey George, do you want to be this guy’s mentor?” George laughed and said, “Just give him my cell!” A coffee meeting later, and the rest is history. We've been working together ever since. Our passion for helping homeowners comes from personal experience. George was once homeless, so he deeply understands what it’s like to face housing uncertainty. TJ’s family went through a crisis and had to sell their home fast — with the help of a cash homebuyer. Those experiences shaped who we are and inspired us to create a company that treats people the way we wish we’d been treated. Let’s be real: the real estate world is full of shady companies, pushy salespeople, and sleazy homebuyers who care more about profit than people. We started REI Branded Home Buyer because we believe it should be the other way around — people first, profit second. We’re proud to call Spokane home. Our wives, Jenny and Michelle, love the slower pace of life here and all the outdoor beauty Washington has to offer. George and Jenny have two amazing daughters and two dogs — they love to travel and recently visited Japan to see their daughter abroad. TJ and Michelle are outdoor lovers through and through — backpacking, hiking, hunting, fishing, even rock climbing. Michelle’s become quite the mountaineer! If you’re thinking about selling a house — no matter the reason — we’d love to hear your story and see how we can help.
